Five people have been killed after a car bomb exploded close to the presidential palace in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu, police say. “So far, we know five soldiers died and over a dozen were wounded,” Ali Hussein, a police officer, said on Monday. The blast took place just after the end of a conference on the country’s upcoming general elections in 2016.
It is not yet clear whether the blast has killed any of the conference attendees.
Witnesses said security forces surrounded the site of the incident and ambulances transferred the injured of the terrorist attack to the hospital. — PressTV
